But before they could turn the
Texas Half-Mile into yet another
personal showdown, Mission
Roof Systems ace Brandon Rob-
inson came storming up from
behind, exploiting a high line
he observed Rick Ware Racing
KTM's Briar Bauman utilize in
the preceding Mission #2Fast-
2Tasty Challenge to good effect.
Mees and Daniels were bat-
tling hard among themselves
when Robinson powered around
them both in quick succession,
setting up a protracted three-
way fight at the front.
"The main event was a scram-
ble," Robinson said. "I was the
only guy without a bike because
we were making a last-second
gear change. But with that rain
coming down, we figured the
track would be a little slower
and added a tooth, and that was
key in the outcome of the race.
"I almost fell back to fourth.
It took me about two laps to get
into my groove, but once I found
the higher line, I was able to ride
right around the guys. It was kind
of crazy. It was a cool feeling."
VOLUME ISSUE APRIL , P93
liked to see that checkered flag, but
in my book, that's a win. So, congrats
to him. It was a crazy day in Texas.
I don't know what else to say. Huge
shout out to my Rick Ware Racing
team and everybody who supports
us. 1-2-1-2. We're off to a good start
to the year. I can't complain about
that."
48 TRENT LOWE
6TH SINGLES
Turner Honda's Trent Lowe finished
up with solid fourth-place points
and saw his younger brother, Jared
Lowe, earn his first-career top five
just behind him. Still, he was a bit
nonplussed after walking away
with his first-ever victory during the
series' stop in DFW a year ago. He
said, "The day was all right. I mean,
I went good in qualifying but we kind
of struggled in the heat after making
some changes. I felt like we kind of
pulled it together for the main, but I
just couldn't get anything done. I had
some bad starts after the restarts and
just didn't have it today, I guess."
MYOWNRACE
Dallas Daniels (32) was an early
leader but ended up third.
